Found an old favorite

I was looking for a specific out-of-print book I read ages ago. Found it on AbeBooks! The price was good, and it got to me in about a week. It was just as described. Super easy to buy and happy with the whole thing. Definitely going to check there first for weird finds.

Quick find, good price

Needed a specific poetry collection. Found it fast. Price was fair. Shipping took 6 days. Book arrived in described condition. Satisfied with the purchase.

Reliable for textbooks

I've used AbeBooks a bunch of times for textbooks over the years. My last order was for a medical book, and it arrived pretty quickly, just like my previous orders. They're always consistent with their descriptions, and I appreciate knowing what to expect. It's why I keep coming back instead of messing with other sites.

Good for used books, some shipping issues

I bought a used fiction book through AbeBooks. The book itself was in decent condition as listed, and the price was fair. My only minor gripe was that it took a bit longer to arrive than I hoped, about 10 days to my address in California. I understand it comes from individual sellers, so shipping times can vary. Overall, it's a solid platform for finding books, but be prepared for potential shipping variability depending on the seller.

Amazing selection!

I was searching everywhere for a first edition of a classic fantasy book, and AbeBooks had it! The condition was even better than I expected for a used book, and it shipped pretty fast too. I can't believe how many cool books they have. I'm already making a list for my next order!

Hey guys, thinking of grabbing a textbook from AbeBooks. How long does shipping usually take to, say, California? Need it kinda quick.

P Priya Q. 2 months ago
It really depends on the seller. Some are super fast, like a few days, especially if they're in the US. Others, if it's international, can take weeks. There's usually an estimate when you're checking out though.

Yeah, I ordered a book for a class last semester. Got here in about 5 days to LA. But I've also had one from a small shop in the UK take almost 3 weeks. Always check the seller's location.

What's the deal with returns if I get a book and it's not what I expected? Easy process or a pain?

M Mia Nguyen 2 months ago
I had to return one once because the condition wasn't as described. It was pretty straightforward, just initiated it through my order history and the seller processed it. Not too bad.

Yeah returns were easy, did it last month. Just make sure you understand the seller's specific policy, because it can vary a bit.

Does AbeBooks take PayPal? Or is it just credit cards for payment?

A Anna H. 2 months ago
Yep, they definitely take PayPal. Used it for my last order.

Pretty sure they do PayPal, and most major credit cards. I've used my Visa there a bunch of times.

Anyone know if there's a free shipping code floating around for AbeBooks right now? Or a first-time buyer discount?

C Cody 2 months ago
Sometimes individual sellers offer free shipping, which is cool. For platform-wide codes, they pop up occasionally but aren't super common. I signed up for the newsletter, that's how I heard about one once.

I think they do a first order discount sometimes if you sign up for their emails. Worth a shot!

Are the books on AbeBooks actually legit? Like, if I'm looking for a first edition, am I gonna get a knock-off or something fake?

T Troy R. 2 months ago
From my experience, they're legit. It's a marketplace for tons of independent sellers, many of whom specialize in rare stuff. They're usually pretty good about describing the condition too.

I've bought several rare books there and never had an issue. The sellers usually have good ratings and detailed descriptions. If you're really worried, you can always ask the seller directly before buying.

Thinking of getting a bunch of old sci-fi paperbacks. Does AbeBooks do bulk discounts or anything if I buy a lot from one seller?

T Tara 2 months ago
Not usually platform-wide, but some individual sellers might be willing to combine shipping or offer a small discount if you message them directly, especially for multiple items. Doesn't hurt to ask!

I've seen some sellers have 'buy X get Y% off' deals sometimes listed on their pages, but it's not a standard AbeBooks thing for all sellers.

how does abebooks compare to like, alibris or thriftbooks for finding specific out-of-print stuff?

J Josh Patel 2 months ago
AbeBooks usually has a wider selection for really obscure or out-of-print titles because it pulls from so many smaller, specialist sellers globally. ThriftBooks is great for cheap, common used books, but not usually the rare stuff.

I've had better luck finding very specific editions on AbeBooks than Alibris. The search filters feel a bit more robust for antiquarian type things, I think.
